Dinosaurs alive and well in SBL

SUPER BASKETBALL LEAGUE The Dinos refuse to die off after winning three straight games in as many days

By Paul Huang  /  CONTRIBUTING REPORTER

The Dinos were not the lone team to have a perfect week as the Tigers, extending their winning streak to four games.

Tien Lei finally broke out of a three-game slump by scoring 31 points in his best offensive outing of the season.

The league's most valuable player over the past two seasons was joined by backcourt tandem Cheng Chang-jun (16 points) and Su Yi-jeh (11 points), and forward Wu Yi-hui (17 points).

With the Tigers switching their defense often to disrupt the Hunters' attack, Videoland never felt comfortable running their normal half-court offense.

Most of the Hunters' scoring had come from the low post plays by forwards Lee Chi-yi and Lin Hsin-hua, often leaving their other big gun, Yang Tseh-yi, out of the offensive scheme.

"Add on the difference between Yang's usual point production [19] and what he got tonight [8] and we have a totally different ball game," Hunters coach Chou Hai-rong said.
